Steve is Cruise-Traveler's.com's President and your Host. Steve created Cruise-Travelers.com in 1998 after arranging group cruises for friends and employees since 1990. With 40+ previous cruise experiences, Steve provides a wealth of knowledge to Cruise-Travelers.com. As your Host, Steve strives to make everyone's cruise an experience of a lifetime, surpassing all expectations. Dedication and planning are foremost in the diverse array of guest activities, as well as personally attending to each and every guest's needs or desires. Born and raised in Lancaster County, PA, Steve has never missed an opportunity. As a youngster, Steve could be seen with his little red wagon at the park selling "Kool-Aid" and "Wacky Packages" to the neighborhood kids. Graduating from Penn Manor High School in 1982, Steve immediately went into business for himself. Berkey's Jewelry Box was born . . . . . . right out of the trunk of his 300ZX, and evolved into a full-scale retail operation. This entrepreneurial would rise again in 1998 with the advent of Cruise-Travelers.com. Steve is a sucker for grocery stores and bulk buying clubs, such as Sam's Club or BJ's Wholesale Club. A jack-of-all-trades who can spend hours at the home improvement store, there's never a burned out bulb or a dull moment in Steve's life. He is ever astute to the current world and local news, as well as keeping a sharp eye on the stock market. Steve also has a deep abiding love for small animals . . . particularly cats. Compassionate and sensitive there is ALWAYS room for one (or two) more. Friends would describe Steve as a "workaholic," but extremely dedicated to his career. He is a zestful, outgoing personality who loves to cook for his friends and entertain whether at home or at sea.
